2020 Wilmington University Softball News

The Wilmington University softball team placed four student-athletes on the 2020 Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Softball All-Academic Team on Tuesday, as announced by the conference commissioner Dan Mara.

Following the March 13 cancellation of the remainder of the spring 2020 NCAA athletics season due to the coronavirus pandemic, the Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference instituted a Spring Spotlight series. Each of the 14 CACC member schools has been given the opportunity to spotlight a student-athlete that was off to a strong start in each of its spring sports.

The CACC began an original series on Thursday night, CACC Retrospective, and featured the 2019 Wilmington University softball team that needed to win three games in one day to claim the 2019 CACC Softball Championship.

The Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference is proud to continue with a new spring highlight series titled "Courage Through Adversity". The conference will highlight student-athletes and the adversity they have gone through either during their collegiate career or prior to getting to college to be able to excel at their sport.

With all the springs seasons now underway, the Wilmington University softball team and men’s lacrosse team were represented as Central Atlantic Collegiate Conference Players of the Week, as announced by the conference on Monday.

The Wilmington University softball team dropped their first two contests of the 2020 campaign to Western Oregon in eight innings, 3-2 and Grand Valley State, 6-2 Sunday afternoon at the Winter Haven Diamond Plex.

The Wilmington University softball team begins its 2020 season with 10 games in Florida, and then plays another 10 games on the road before setting foot on Asbury Field on Wednesday, March 25 for their home opener. The Wildcats won the CACC Tournament last season and return nearly their entire offensive lineup, but will have four new faces in the circle without any college experience.
